Phantom - 'The Tower of Seth' (official music video)

Ancient slumbers from the past
Swords and Axes clash and fight
Conjuring the masters!!!
Serpents of dread!!!
Castle of the sick and torn
Ruled by evil overlords
In the pits below the altars
The tortures unfold
Raiding the Tower

THE TOWER OF SETH!
With power and fury

TO KILL MANY MEN!!!
Warlocks and witches
Seduced by the flames
The axe liberates them

BY CHOPPING THEIR HEAD!
Raiding the tower

THE TOWER OF SETH!
The eye of the serpent

DECEIVER OF KINGS
No mercy given
Your blood shall be drank
By stygia!
RAIDING THE TOWER OF SETH!!!

Sacrificial rites of scorn
An oath so wrong, their time has come
Gathering lethal forces,
TONIGHT IT MUST FALL

Raiding the Tower
THE TOWER OF SETH
With power and fury
TO KILL MANY MEN

Warlocks and witches
Seduced by the flames
The axe liberates them
BY CHOPPING THEIR HEADS

Raiding the tower
THE TOWER OF SETH
The eye of the serpent
DECEIVER OF KINGS!

No mercy given
Your blood shall be drank
By stygia!
RAIDING THE TOWER OF SETH!!!

Οι (συγκεκριμένοι, γιατί υπάρχουν ή υπήρξαν αρκετά metal συγκροτήματα με το ίδιο όνομα) Phantom μας έρχονται από το Μεξικό. Speed metal συγκρότημα το οποίο δημιουργήθηκε προ τετραετίας. Άκρως ενεργοί δισκογραφικά με τρία demos, δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, ένα ep, ένα live album, μία συλλογή και μπόλικα singles.

"Tyrants of Wrath" τιτλοφορείται το πλέον πρόσφατο δισκογραφικό τους πόνημα και κυκλοφόρησε στα τελειώματα του δεύτερου ανοιξιάτικου μήνα, με την μπάντα να μας λέει σχετικά: «Sharpen your stakes, salt your swords and bring your chains to journey into 48 minutes of sonic lacerations, total death, lethal steel, and heavy metal absolute power.»

Δελτίο τύπου: «Phantom are a speed / thrash metal band from Guadalajara, Mexico, formed in 2021 as a project just for fun. After having cut their teeth on three demos and a split album with four likeminded groups, the four-piece released their debut full-length “Handed to Execution”, which was followed one year later by the EP “Transylvanian Nightmare”. While both were well-received by critics and fans alike, Phantom now up the ante with their second album “Tyrants of Wrath”.

The new record marks a tour de force through the genre’s much cherished traditions - think Razor, Dark Angel, Merciless, Living Death and, of course, Slayer for reference - while adding a fresh spin on things, be it in the shape of ‘Nimbus’ - a tribute to Phantom’s most old-school influences from cult acts such as Manilla Road, Gotham City and Heavy Load - or regarding the off-kilter structure of ‘Nazguhl’, one of many ventures into the unconventional that surprisingly enough never compromise the Mexicans’ extreme metal outlook.

“Tyrants of Wrath” was recorded and mixed at Nehtron Studios Mexico by the band and Héctor Northen, mastering was done by Patrick Engel at German Temple of Disharmony.

Phantom will tour Europe in September / October 2025 with Brazil’s Evilcult. “It’s gonna be our first European tour, and we are very excited” gushes front man J.C. “You can expect total devastation and absolutely merciless, breakneck performances!”»
